On one computer I have a nice lovely font that I've been using since i started programming. However, on the new, evil computer, the font is one that I'm not used. I've looked high and low and can't find the option to change it. Anyone know how?

I want my font to look like the image on top. Currently it looks like the image on bottom.

Windows -> PreferenceGeneral -> Appeareance -> Colors and Fonts -> Java editor text fontI have "Verdana", one of my favorite sans-serif fonts.From the screenshot, I cannot tell what You are running on either of the editors but You can test around with diff fonts.

DejaVu Sans Mono is awesome, but I find that my remote X display just doesn't render it nearly that pretty (I'm spoiled on infinality font patches). So I switched to Adobe's "Source Code Pro" Font for those emacs sessions on servers, which seems to better tolerate the atrocious default font rendering settings on Linux.

Ah yeah I noticed that too. Didn't bother me as much, I mean everything looks a little different in linux, even eclipse, just subtleties, so I kinda went with it as if this was Dejavu - Linux Style :D

Why use the sin that is win8? (no offense, I just dislike it personally)

Busy between school, work, life, games, programming and general screwing around.If you'd like some pixel art for your game, send me a PM, i'll see what I can do.Current project: http://elementalwarblog.wordpress.com/

how could you have black background and bright text ? it would fuck my eyes up in a matter of seconds

also I have never more than the current project opened. I would imagine that eclipse needs a long time for a restart.and also I like to "clean all open projects" frequently, since eclipse often times has problems and that fixes it...

Eclipse is designed for having tons of projects open -- a plugin project (any OSGi app) can have dozens of related projects. It's just my ADD that keeps me from wanting to have unrelated projects cluttering up my screen.

If you think that dark theme is sexy, check out the Darcula theme in IDEA. I might change to it eventually, since I always seem to end up with a dark theme in emacs anyway.

I prefer it to a bright color scheme, especially since I work at night and my eyes would kill me with bright colors.Just like sproingie said, Eclipse is designed for many projects. Startup is still 5 seconds, barely any change when I closed all the projects to test.I never have any problems with Eclipse that have needed me to clean all projects or to muck with build settings.
